Once a point is controlled, a player can move out of it and retain control until the opponent takes it, which means models don’t have to sit on control points and remain unused. This gives a nice objective to the game other than just defeating the other player’s army that encourages movement and positioning. Players then get two points for each of these areas they control. The board has the six control points, and at the end of each round the player with the most of their models in a control point takes control of it. These points are gained by taking control points and completing gambits. Of course the game can end early if one side is completely defeated, but if it does go to the end, then the winner is the player with the most Supremacy points. This makes the rounds go faster as the battle progresses and models are defeated, and having a set end keeps the game from dragging on too long. The game lasts for five rounds, with each round ending when both players have activated every model. Where are the hexagons? WHERE ARE THE HEXAGONS? They’re hexagone. I think that the game shines with a simple core ruleset, a ton of variability, and lots of strategy to uncover. I’m approaching this game as a bit of a newbie, so keep that in mind if you are deep into this subset of the tabletop hobby.
Now I am fairly new to these types of games, only having played a couple myself. Also note that I only played the game with two players, as trying to do more than that with the core box would limit the army building and make the board very cramped. Read on to find out how the game works and what I think of it! Keep in mind that the game I played was only a prototype, and things may change when the final game comes out. There’s deck construction and a fate system on top of the usual move-models-and-attack formula for the genre that add some nice strategy and variability, and I think this is a great starting point for those looking to get into tactical miniature war games. Have no fear, Legacy of Atmos brings a lot of content and has some interesting mechanics that set it apart. Now I know what you’re thinking, a mini-packed skirmish game on Kickstarter? Again? Legacy of Atmos is a miniature skirmish game for two to four players. The opinions expressed in the review are completely my own.
